POLITICAL BRIEF: In a surprise development, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has invited Arizona resident Jake Angeli – aka the ‘Horned Hat’ insurrectionist from the Capitol Riot – to sit on the 6th January committee tasked with investigating it. The move is expected to go down poorly with U.S. representative Jim Jordan (R-OH), who had hoped to serve on it after being nominated by the minority leader Kevin McCarthy. Pelosi defended her position, saying that while she wanted many voices represented, she could not risk having someone as unstable and disruptive as Jim Jordan involved in any capacity other than under subpoena. As for Mr. Angeli, Pelosi says she expects him to howl at the moon at lot, which will be a far more productive committee contribution that anything Jordan would have been able to offer.
